Overview
Mission Minded is a marketing communications firm dedicated to helping nonprofits and other do-gooders.

As Administrative Assistant, your role will be to support the two founding partners of the company and the design director. Your primary responsibility will be to provide support in Microsoft Word by updating, revising, and creating proposals, reports and other documents. Absolute expertise in Word – not just proficiency – is a requirement for this position.

Other responsibilities will be varied: helping to prepare materials for presentations to clients, scheduling new jobs, drafting and editing client proposals, agreements and other documents, assisting with research, and scheduling appointments.

You are responsible for making sure every communication you create is produced perfectly every time. This is a job for someone who loves details.

The ability to understand what people mean, not just hear what they say is a must.
